Wikipedia Gender Gap Visualization

A recent NYTimes article pointed that contribution at Wikipedia has a strong gender bias, with more than 6.7 male editors than female editors per article (based on a survey). Many other articles came out, and Wikimedia is reacting to this rather negative statistics.

Using the gender api that I discovered in this project, I wanted to see the relations between the proportion female/male editing and article and its content. I wanted to check, for instance, if stereotypes are validated.
